Nader, MS, Prof. completes the Advanced Suborbital Astronaut Training
Program on the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center on the Russian Federation,
the program was designed to train a scientist to perform research during
short term suborbital space flight.

-As stated in his official
communiqué of March 16 2007, the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE) General
Commander sent his delegate to Russia to officially recognize the first
Ecuadorian astronaut and imposes the ASA/T astronaut wings to Nader. The
Ecuadorian President congratulates him as well as the Russian Ambassador
in Ecuador.

-On August 29 2007, Nader
publishes the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Program for the next 10 years and
announces the creation of the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency, during the
announcement, the Russian Federation Ambassador in Ecuador Mr. Valentin
Bogomazov and the General Commander of the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE)
stands besides him.

-On October 12 the
Ecuadorian government grants Nader the Medal “Example of Youth”

-On November 1 2007, the
Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency, EXA is created. It becomes the first
ever space agency in the history of the country.

-On the same month, EXA
proposes the Project DAEDALUS to FAE, the making of the first microgravity
plane in Latin America, using a device known as the PCMG-Mk1 developed
entirely by EXA to compute in real time the exact parabola the plane must
follow. FAE accepts to participate in the project with EXA as the project
leader and commits the necessary resources, the project is deemed
classified.

-On November 19 2007 EXA
join FAE in organizing the first local space camp in the city of Riobamba

-On March of 2008, 6
medium-sized meteorites fall over Ecuadorian coastal territory, on a time
span of 7 days in an area of 40 km of radius, EXA is called upon by the
Ecuadorian government to investigate and its findings are deemed
classified by the Air Force.

-On April 10 2008, EXA and
FAE jointly fly the EXA/FAE-01 microgravity research mission, the first
mission for Project DAEDALUS, on board of a Mirage F1JE combat jet, the
FAE pilot Xavier Coral and the EXA astronaut Ronnie Nader commanding the
mission perform the flight with the PCMG-Mk1 in order to test the
capabilities of the device which guides the plane to sustain 21 parabolas
with 501 seconds of microgravity between +0.0006 and -0.0003G becoming the
firsts to achieve such feat in the Latin American region. FAE grants the
rank of Mission Commander to Nader.

-On the same month EXA
starts the Project POSEIDON, the biomedical research of children working
in microgravity environments, for this purpose, it develops a variable
gravity training program for children between 17 and 7 years old, 3
children are chosen to begin training.

-Based on biometric
readings of the previous missions EXA develops a Microgravity Induction
Program, which is successfully tested during the next missions with
subjects very sensitive to motion sickness, achieving the feat of zero
motion sickness during all the missions in all the subjects

-On May 6 2008 EXA and FAE
jointly fly the EXA/FAE-02 microgravity research mission, second and final
mission for Project DAEDALUS, on board of a Sabreliner T39 retrofitted
with the PCMG-Mk2, with Col. Tirso Guerra and Col. Marcos Chiluiza as
pilots and astronaut Nader as commander, the mission is successful in
creating microgravity inside the plane for 18 parabolas and 165 seconds of
microgravity between +0.0003 and -0.0001G giving to Ecuador the first and
only microgravity plane of Latin America

On May 19 2008 EXA helps
UNESCO and FAE in organizing the Regional Space Camps 2008

-On June 19 2008 EXA and
FAE jointly fly the EXA/FAE-06 microgravity research mission for the
Project POSEIDON, that establishes the World Microgravity Record for the
youngest human being, a 7-yeard old child, a delegate from Guinness World
Records is present on the premises and declares the record at 11h47 am
local time.

-During the flight the
children perform 3 different experiments and data is collected about their
tasks, the children perform better than expected in microgravity, thanks
to their training.

-During this mission and
for about a month earlier and before it, physiological and neurological
data is collected from the children that is being currently being analyzed,
this data registry collected from children being trained, working in
microgravity and after the flight is now unique in the world.

-On the same month EXA and
FAE establish the PEVM/G - Ecuadorian Microgravity Flight Program, aimed
to encourage the scientific interest in the young students and to continue
the biomedical research in microgravity conditions

-On
September 29 2008 the general assembly of the International Astronautical
Federation, meeting in Glasgow, UK during its 59th Congress adopts EXA as
a new member with the status of Space Agency.

-On
October 22 EXA publishes de HIPERION report, a 1 year field study
analyzing the latest 28 years of data from 10 satellites and more than 200
ground stations around the world and 2 ground stations on Ecuadorian
territory, the study concludes that the ozone layer over the tropics is
damaged and as result extreme levels of UV radiation are hitting
Ecuadorian territory.

-EXA
also implements the Reactive Alert Network HIPERION, a real time alert
system protecting more than 4 million people by giving them real time and
accurate information about UV radiation levels.

-On
March 2009 EXA start the HERMES project, the first Internet-to-Orbit
gateway and the most sensible ground station in the country, the station
is named HERMES-A//MINOTAUR, this project is designed as the
pre-requisite for project PEGASUS

-On
September 8 2009, the UN-OOSA invites the EXA to present Project
HERMES into the Small Satellites for Sustainable Development Conference
which officially becomes the first Internet-to-Orbit gateway, Cmdr Ronnie
Nader is invited to the press conference on the National Academy of
Science in Graz, Austria and trains representatives of 34 countries in the
use of Project HERMES.

On
November 19 2009, EXA presents the A SATELLITE IN CLASSROOM program, based
on the Delta operation mode of the HERMES-A/MINOTAUR gateway, the first
program in the world that puts a real satellite in the classrooms of
elementary schools, making possible for the first time that school
children can download images from weather satellites in real time. The
Academia Cotopaxi in Quito and the Ecomundo in Guayaquil becomes the first
schools in the world to be able to work satellites in their classrooms.

-On
April 2010 the EXA Directorate approves project PEGASUS, the building of
the first Ecuadorian satellite.

-On
April 4, 2011, a year later, EXA present the NEE-01 PEGASUS, Ecuador's
first satellite, completely built and designed in house with national
capitals thanks to the support of QUICORNAC, a local industry, PEGASUS
becomes the first satellite of its class to be able to send live video
from space, to have an anti radiation shield, to have the largest power
array ever installed in a satellite of that size and to bear the thinnest
solar panel arrays with only 1.5mm thickness, the project leader was
Ronnie Nader alongside Sidney Drouet, Hector Carrion, Manuel Uriguen and Ricardo Allú

On
May 17, 2011 The National Assembly awarded the Ecuadorian Civilian Space
Agency – EXA with the VICENTE ROCAFUERTE National Medal to Scientific
Merit for its outstanding and longstanding labor in designing and
developing the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Program

On
July 21, 2011, ClydeSpace, the company building the UKUBE-1 satellite for
the British Space Agency announces that 8 structural parts made of
titanium and designed and built by the EXA in Ecuador will be part of the
spacecraft. It is the first time in history that an Ecuadorian institution
reaches this level of quality and technology, needed to export parts for
foreign satellites. The engineering team that made this possible was
Ronnie Nader, Sidney Drouet and Manuel Uriguen.

On
October 2011, during the 62nd International Astronautical Congress, held
in Cape Town, South Africa, EXA is invited to become member of the Dual
Use Space Technologies subcomitee of the International Astronautical
Federation, due the development of the technologies ARGOS, CYCLOPS and
NEMEA, created for the PEGASUS class satellites.

-On December 13, 2011,
in the Auditorium of the Air War College in the Mariscal Sucre Air Base in
Quito of the Ecuadorian Air Force, EXA and ISIS sign a contract to launch
the NEE-01 PEGASO aboard a Dnepr rocket RS20 from the Dombarovski
Cosmodrome near Yasny, Russia in late September 2012, EXA and FAE also
signed a cooperation agreement to operate the satellite together.

On August 2012 the
building and testing of the NEE-02 KRYSAOR is completed, this is a PEGASUS
class spacecraft and the second Ecuadorian satellite,

On September 2012 the
first launch delay of the NEE-01 is announced for November 20 of this same
year.

On October 30 the EXA
receives the SCIENTIFIC MERIT Award from the M.I. Municipality of
Samborondon, the city were the laboratory were the NEE-01 and NEE-02
satellites were created, Ronnie Nader receives the award from the hands of
the city Mayor in the name of EXA.

On November 13 the
second launch delay is announced for NEE-01 due a delay in the launch
queue of RS20 rockets from Dombarovski

On February of 2013 both
satellites are qualified for spaceflight on board Russian and Chinese
vectors by the Netherlands company ISL-ISIS

On April 25, 2013 at
23h13 local time, onboard a LM2D rocket taking off from the JiuQuan
Cosmodrome the NEE-01 PEGASO launches into space, 13 minutes later is
injected into orbit and more than 4 hours later a radio amateur relays the
first signal to CCVE ground control in Guayaquil, The National Government
transmits the launching operation in national TV and the President sits in
the CCVE ground control, commanding the mission is Cmdr. Ronnie Nader who
declares mission success at 23h27 with the historic words "Welcome to the
sky PEGASO, Welcome to space Ecuador"

On May 16, 2013 at 10h39
local time, from the Space flight Control Center in Samborondon the first
public live video feed from NEE-01 PEGASUS is received and injected into
the Internet, the mission director, Cmdr. Ronnie Nader, establishes the
link with the satellite and receives it with the words "Welcome home
PEGASO". The satellite transmits video and audio signals through
EarthCam.com via Internet, it is reported that more than 3 million people
around the world watched its transmission

On the night of May 22,
2013 EXA is notified by the JSpOC of USSTRATCOM of the close approach for
NEE-01 PEGASUS with the SCC-15890 object, the remains of a Russian
Tsyklon-3 rocket launched in July of 1985, EXA finds out by sources in
Russia that this object travels surrounded by a cloud of small particles
and debris, and in the night of May 23 2013, at 00h38m17s NEE-01 passes
through this cloud, probably coalmining with small particles and losing
attitude control violently. Surprisingly, NEE-01 survives the event and
electronics remain 100% operative, due the heavy ant radiation shielding
known as NEMEA and invented by EXA, but the HERMES-A ground station is
unable to decode the transmission due a huge polarity error, After 5 days
of monitoring and evaluation EXA finds out that the satellite is
recoverable, on May 28 the Mission Directorate starts the PERSEUS recovery
operation, with a nominal duration of 3 months.

In July 2013, EXA's
Space Operations team realizes that it will not be possible to recover the
signal of the NEE-01 from ground, but it should be possible to do that
from an space based platform, then begins the PERSEUS project: The design,
construction, installation and testing of a micro repeater unit onboard de
NEE-02, which was being readied to be launched in November.

In August 28, EXA
concludes the signal recovery operation for the NEE-01 PEGASUS, which
transmitted successfully until May 23 before sustaining a close approach
with debris from an old soviet rocket, the satellite is put into
hibernation mode, but not completely shutdown, its reentry into the
atmosphere is predicted for the year 2023.

November 21, 2013 at
02h10m11s local time, the NEE-02 KRYSAOR, second Ecuadorian satellite
lifts off towards the orbit onboard a Russian Dnepr RS20B, this launch
becomes world record for injecting 33 satellites into orbit at once, at
02h25m13s the NEE-02 KRYSAOR is delivered into its planned orbit. It
carries onboard the PERSEUS device.

January 25, 2014 at 09h58m02s EXA's Space Operations team establishes
contact with the NEE-02 KRYSAOR publicly from the CCVE installations in
the ECU911 Samborondon and begins audio/video transmission from 750km
height over the Atlantic ocean at more than 3000km away. The President
joins the national TV broadcast at 10h01m, Cmdr. Ronnie Nader, head of the
team informs the President the existence of the PERSEUS device onboard the
NEE-02, designed to recover the signal of the NEE-01, the device is
activated and at 10h05m58s the PEGASUS's audio transmission can be heard,
identifying itself as the first Ecuadorian satellite and begins to
transmit the national anthem, Nader pronounces the words: "Mr. President,
We have recovered PEGASUS..." and the country explodes in joy. Ecuador
becomes the only nation in the region to attempt and execute such
operation in space and it is also the first time in history that a
nanosatellite is recovered in orbit by another nanosatellite. The NEE-02
also transmits the song "We are all Astronauts", composed by the national
singer AU-D (Martin Galarza) to honor PEGASUS, who then becomes the first
Ecuadorian artist to broadcast from space.

-In November 2014 Ambassador Ronnie Nader is selected by the International
Astronautical Federation for World Congress 2015 for the first time the
IAF chooses an Ecuadorian for this position.

-In July 2015 Ronnie
Nader is elected member of the prestigious International Academy of
Astronautics IAA and became the first Ecuadorian to access this organism
in its history.

-In March 31, 2016, EXA announced that it has been contracted by a public
consortium of five high schools in California to provide parts of
satellites and consulting for a project of 5 years, EXA achieves the
second largest project contract and provides deployable solar panels,
batteries, antennas, magnetorquers and titanium structures. Through the
EXA Ecuador becomes the first country in Latin America to export its own
space technology to the United States.

On May 14, 2016, 3 weeks
before the deadline EXA delivers the parts to the IRVINE Cubesat STEM
program in the city of Irvine, California, USA.

-In September 2016
during the IAC2016 in Mexico, The Latin American and Caribbean Regional
Group elects Ronnie Nader as its vice president.

-In March 2017 during
the 1st IAA Latin American Conference on Advanced Satellite Technology in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Academy elects Ronnie Nader to preside over
the Latin American Project session, the first time in history that an
Ecuadorian Is chosen for this role in the history of the IAA.

-In September 2017
Ronnie Nader was elected Lifetime Member for the International Academy of
Astronautics IAA at the engineering section, in the same date he is
elected President of the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Group - IAF
GRULAC.

-In January 2018, the
American consortium ICSP (Irvine Cubesat STEM Program) instructs EXA to
design, build and test a LASER transmitter for earth-orbiting
communication, in the frequency of 450 nanometers and to be integrated in
the satellite IRVINE02, the challenge is to deliver it in less than 30
days, EXA delivers it in 29 days, the device is named PLM-01, Ferox-class,
when placed in orbit, it becomes the first cubesat to use LASER to
communicate from orbit with its base on Earth.

-On August 21, 2018, the
President of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, announces by national TV and radio
broadcast the elimination of the Ecuadorian Space Institute - IEE after 6
years of existence and 36 million dollars of budget, the reason is having
produced no tangible results for the country.

-At the beginning of October 2018, during the International Congress of
Astronautics IAC2018, held in Bremen, Germany, EXA signs several
historical agreements: the first is the transfer of the exclusivity of
marketing of its LASER technology to a multinational company RBCSignals,
the second is the agreement for the realization of the first Latin
American manned mission to space with the Space Agency of Colombia -
AEC, which will select the first Colombian astronaut and the third is the
contract with ASTROBOTIC to start the Latin American Lunar Program as a
whole also with the AEC. Thus begins the lunar phase of the Ecuadorian
Space Program.

--On November 11, 2018, IRVINE01 is launched into space aboard the third
mission of the Electron rocket (It's Business Time), the next day,
stations around the world report having made contact with the satellite,
this is the first mission of a US satellite manufactured with Ecuadorian
parts provided by EXA (50%)
